Morocco''s Clean Energy Sector Drives $360 Million Export Surge
Only five countries—UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, and Morocco—accounted for 81% of this trade, highlighting the concentration of energy exports in the region.
Because of that, Morocco relies on energy imports to satisfy the growing domestic demand. The country has traditionally been a net importer of electrical energy, although the net electricity imports have gradually declined. Morocco's energy sector is, nevertheless, in continuous expansion.
Morocco has a modest yet growing energy sector. The country's power generation remained relatively limited in recent years, especially compared to other North African producers such as Algeria and Egypt. Because of that, Morocco relies on energy imports to satisfy the growing domestic demand.
The agricultural sector in Morocco consumes around 3.9 TWh/ year and emits over 3 Mt-CO 2e /year. The agricultural sector has made significant strides in integrating renewable energy to enhance sustainability, increase productivity, and reduce its carbon footprint.
The Government of Morocco seeks to increase the security of the energy supply by reducing dependence on imports, including increasing the use of renewable sources for electricity production. As of the end of 2023, the share of renewable energy in the electrical capacity mix stood 11.42 GW (ANRE data).
